"ice"
I woke up to find out,
that you hadn't really cared.
It cut me open without doubt,
cutting growth that left shared.
Now I lay here frozen,
left trapped in my feeling clear.
Why don't you come crack me open,
cutting with your steel shear?
My arms are getting numb,
my hearts not pumping in fear,
that what was, was fatal nudged,
your cut that brought me here.
There's noway to replace,
what's happened dear, I'm in shock.
It will take time to reface,
frozen hands, melt the clock.
